Private vacation home

MAJOR remodel and updates continue at the Happy Crab! New floors, new decks, siding, roof, windows, ceilings, interior paint and exterior paint. Brand new washer/dryer has been moved upstairs for your convenience. Fresh new decor and furnishings throughout and modernized bathrooms. The "prepare's kitchen" is now very well-outfitted with a new refrigerator, microwave, pantry, and plenty of supplies for homecooked meals with your family.
New picnic table with an umbrella on the back deck for your morning coffee, evening drink, or dining al-fresco!
Happy Crab is just 75 feet from the beach, even closer than many oceanfront cottages! The bungalow features expansive vistas of the beach from the deck and a hot-tub under the home for post-beach relaxation. Thru traffic is non-existent in this peaceful, private ocean-side subdivision with only 15 cottages. You can relax without worries about the kids or the family pets. There is a convenient ground level store-room for your beach gear and a hot & cold out-side shower for rinsing off after the beach. This home is cute, comfortable and well equipped and you are certain to make some phenomenal beach memories.
South Nags Head is arguably the best location on the Outer Banks for a family vacation. It is a completely residential area enveloped by the Cape Hatteras National Seashore yet is only mins. from a variety of retail and recreational outlets (Jennette's Pier, the outlet mall, many eateries). Families will find the peaceful, low-traffic and non-commercial ambiance calming yet savor how simple it is to drive to the grocery store, eateries, the movie theater, or a putt-putt course. The huge multi-use path that parallels Old Oregon Inlet Road for its 4.5 mile length and is great for running, cycling, or walking. Oregon Inlet Fishing Center is a full service marina with boat ramps and is just a couple of miles south of Happy Crab if you need a convenient location for offshore or inshore boating and fishing.

Our top Vacation rental tips and tricks:

When to book & When to go:

Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
To get the largest rental for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Nags Head vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
Often, management companies supply Nags Head area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Nags Head visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the perfect rental:

To start, have your group decide on a vacation week and a maximum budget.
Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Adorable semi-oceanfront cottage in Nags Head. Steps to the beach & ocean views! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking websites. If not, call the host before booking your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or charges might be applied to your contract.
If there's a certain Nags Head attraction you crave, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Some things to know before you go:

Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
Make a record of any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if there is a dispute.
Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Walk through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
Did your family have a great vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
